Yuletide Sweets

There is nothing like the holidays to put my sweet tooth into overdrive. And so I recently had the oh-so-sweet opportunity to indulge in a variety of treats from Financier Patissiere, the French Patisserie chain in New York. The bakery/café offers a number of holiday yule log desserts, both traditional (chocolate, Grand Marnier, praline and coffee) and “modern” (a dark chocolate, raspberry and pistachio mousse sitting atop a pistachio biscuit and finished off with chocolate lady fingers and chocolate glaze). All yule logs are heavenly, a light, spongey cake counterpointed with the rich sugary creams and fruit fillings. Holiday cookies available for this time of the year include hand-decorated sugar gingerbread boys and girls, Christmas trees, Christmas ornaments and stars. Christmas just doesn’t come any sweeter than this.
